1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveMicroRNA-384 (miR-384) has been reported to function as a tumor suppressor in multiple cancers; however, its role in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear.

methodsWe measured expression levels of miR-384 in GC cell lines and in a normal gastric cell line (GES-1). The association between miR-384 and the metadherin gene ( MTDH) was assessed by luciferase reporter assay and western blot. The effects of the miR-384/MTDH axis on GC cell behaviors were measured by CCK-8, wound-healing, and transwell invasion assays.

resultsmiR-384 was significantly downregulated in GC cell lines compared with normal gastric cells. MTDH was identified as a direct target of miR-384 by bioinformatics analysis, luciferase assay, and western blot. Functional assays demonstrated that miR-384 inhibited GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion through targeting MTDH.

conclusionThese results reveal that miR-384 acts as a tumor suppressor in GC and suggest that the miR-384/MTDH axis may be a potential therapeutic target for GC.
